- Jamie (8/5): -
- Guest (8/5): Was a fantastic trip and found this gem for £50 a night and it was so worth the money would’ve happily paid £100 per nig - Cheap and easy great location lovely staff Nothing
- Stewart (6/5): Seminal stay - Location was great for Taksim square Food choices were poor for breakfast, pool was freezing
- Barry (9/5): - Friendly helpful staff. Nothing
- Ali (4/5): Good location. Too noisy, couldn’t sleep - Location Was sooo noisy
- Christopher (10/5): - Comfortable room .close to bars and eestayrants close to taksim square. Nothing all ok
- Serdar (7/5): Göründüğü gibi degil - Odalar 4 yetiskin 1 cocuk olarak aldik odalar 5 kişi için çok küçük ve 7 ci katta kaldık, malesef merkez kilima olduğu için oda hamam gibiydi uyuyamadık gece bile resepsiyon lu aramak zorunda kaldık klima havalandırma getirsinler diye ve sonuç küçücük 1 kişiyi sogutu. Cam açık yatalım dedim odanın görüntüsü diğer binaların damı ve heryerde havalandırma klima motoru vesaire vardii. Onların seslerin yüzünden uyuyamadık. Ertesi gün hemen yardımcı oldular 2 ci kata aldılar bizi, oda daha serin ama bu seferde tam karşı bakalin yanında bar varmış son gecede öğrendik. Cam açık yattığımız için gece saat 3 4 5 lerde bir kac dkk müzik sesleri geliyordu (kapi açtıkları icin) ve sagolsunlar 4 gecelik bir otel 4 gece uykusuzluk oldu bizim için. Kahvaltı açık büfe, ama gorundugubl gibi değil omlet istediğimizde ekstra ücret dendi? Pardon ama orda baya karıştırılmış yumurta var içinde sut mu şu mu var belli değildi ama görüntü hiç güzel değildi benim ve çocuklarım için. Malesef kahvaltı da yanıldık. Tavsiye malesef aile için tavsiye etmiyorum.

- Rafiq (10/5): Veldig fornøyd! - Vi likte alt med hotellet. Rommene var rene, de vaska hver dag. Personalet var veldig hyggelige og hjalp oss med alt, spesielt Vidad. Fasilitetene var bra og bassenget, sauna og tyrkisk bad var veldig rent og fint. Hotellet er nærme offentlig transport og var veldig sentralt. Frokosten var god og hadde forskjellige utvalg. Dette hotellet burde hatt stjerner. Vi er veldig fornøyd og anbefaler hotellet på det sterkeste!☺️
- Marco (10/5): Easy to Reach Everywhere of Istanbul - Easy to reach everywhere . It is in main street . No way to get lost It is not about hotel but generally the city is having stress and people are so aggressive on street .

- Ghada (9/5): فندق جميل ورائع - تكررت زياراتي لفندق السيمينال لعدة اسباب منها موقع الفندق القريب من ميدان تقسيم ومحطة المترو ..الغرف واسعة ومريحة بعضها مطلة على جهات متعددة لاتشعر فيها بأي ملل.جميع الموظفين اللذين تعاملت معهم يتميزون باللطافه وحسن المعامله وسرعة الاستجابة لأي طلب او ملاحظةوخاصة طاقم قسم الاستقبال ..اللوبي واسع مريح بديكورات جميلة يتوفر فيه العديد من الزوايا والمقاعد المريحة.. اتمنى لطاقم الموظفين ولادارة الفندق كل التوفيق والنجاح والتقدم لا شئ خلال اقامتي
- Ghania (6/5): -
- Haroon (2/5): Poor experience; impolite manager at front deck, low value for money - The location was good Manager at the front desk has no clue what customer service means or as basic as responding properly to a query. Three examples : 1- It was drizzling and we asked for umbrellas- he told us there are none left - 2 hours later I found out 6 picked ones in a bin when I went to the luggage room to pick up my luggage (bell boy told me that manager asked me to say we don’t have any umbrellas left) 2- I told them it’s hot and we have slept all night without AC, response was we only have heating system so please open up the windows 3- told me to pick up stuff from luggage room and no help offered while I was dragging it with my family Breakfast was way below average
- mohammed (4/5): اللي يبحث عن موقع قريب من تقسيم خيار ممتاز - الموقع قريب من تقسيم ضيق الغرفه
- Moamen (10/5): -
- Sahar (1/5): Bad hotel - Location only The photos in booking is different from the reality the hotel looks like a jail doesn’t deserve the amount at all
- M. Alaeddin (8/5): -
- Vasilios (10/5): Great place - Great place! One minute away from Taksim square ! Parking just two minutes! Maybe WiFi !
- Francis (2/5): Les personnes au service étaient agréables, mais le reste était moins bien - Centre ville Tabagisme dans l'hôtel et bruits faits par des jeunes qui venaient avec des prostituées
- Bodero Sellán (10/5): Buen servicio - Ofrecen buenos servicios, el personal es muy atento y amable. Las instalaciones se ven modernas y limpias.
- Mahmoud (7/5): -
- Hala (8/5): Bra - Allt Spa och massage
- Amr (8/5): -
- Richard (10/5): - The hotel's location is very central, the staff is attentive and helpful in every way. It's a facility I really like coming to. ..
- Azad (1/5): - Very dirty that one I had back very very very bad
- Riaz (4/5): - Location Room ..gave not for family room . Too small . Have to take chairs out of room to wake
- Tunay Sabah (3/5): Inte bra - Dåligt Dålig
- Shynar (10/5): - Все понравилось! Очень вежливый персонал. Завтрак отличный. Номер комфортный. Бассейн супер. До Таксима, до Кабаташ рукой подать. Советую всем!
- ELNARA (8/5): - Her şey.çok güzeldi. Diş firçası ve diş macunu verilmiyormuş. Odada ayna yok. Yalnız lavobada var.
- Dhaifallah (3/5): Poor - Only the location Duty manager, Abu Shaker, he refused my request for iron, claiming that Arab guests break the irons. This racist response is abhorrent, given that most of the hotel's guests are Arabs. It is clear that the hotel management, through this individual, treats guests in a racist manner.
- Nathandoron (6/5): - Gud location.Slow elevator.Bfast basic. Terrasse room.Big avantage.Nice room Very bad internet.
- Rizvi (8/5): overall it was nice experience with the property - Near taksim Square and in the city center
- Quest601647 (4/5): Terrible experience - Do not recommended - Terrible experience – do not recommend We stayed at Seminal Hotel in Taksim from 30 May to 8 June and had one of the worst hotel experiences ever. Teenagers in the room next to us smoked in the hallway every day, causing a strong smell throughout the floor. There were vomiting sounds, loud noise at night, and no peace. We complained every single day, but the hotel refused to change our room or take any action. The receptionist was rude and unprofessional – he even told us to “call the police” instead of helping. Housekeeping was poor and messy. Our room was not properly cleaned throughout the stay. This hotel ruined our trip and should not be listed on Booking.com until they improve their service and staff. Definitely do not recommend staying here
- Mbalenhle (2/5): Very poor - Location Condom plastics that did not belong to us in the room WiFi poor Some staff members Especially the old ones not friendly Dusty room Food from previous day still on the floor
- Hind (8/5): Very good -
- Ahmad (8/5): Very good -
- Fares (4/5): - Bad service
- Gabriela (7/5): My stay was good, but it could be better - I liked the way the hotel looked The fridge did not work perfectly
- Mano (9/5): Superb -
- Richard (10/5): Exceptional - The location of the hotel is very good. The staff is helpful. The rooms are clean.
